Migratory birds at Vedaranyam

A glimpse of the winged visitors that throng the Salt Works at Vedaranyam

Chemplast Sanmar, which has its salt works at Vedaranyam, partnered the Bombay Natural History Society (BNHS) in setting up a study centre at Kodiakarai. The BNHS-Sanmar centre is a boon for bird watchers who gather to watch migratory birds from across the globe swarming the swamps of Vedaranyam, during the northeast monsoon season. The centre spread across two-and-a-half acres of land purchased by BNHS is the first of its kind in the country.
